Have been working on my own module for twitter, but after 3 days got frustrated with the amount of work as well as stupidity of the fact that I'm doing something that has already been done.
My biggest problem with the Jamroom Twitter module was lack of links which makes this module a bit pointless in terms of site/music/artist marketing.
Anyway, got the module today, spent half an hour looking through the files and here is a quick and dirty way of getting links (I hope Brian or Kyle will incorporate this as it's really easy but in case they don't anyone who implements this 'code' will have to redo it every time there is an update to the module).
It is an effect of 15 minutes of testing, thus I cannot guarantee it will work on every website. I will make it cleaner once I find some time, but here is the DIRTY version:
Version for Nova and Nova-based artist themes:
goto->modules/jrTwitter/jrTwitter/stream.php open it and scroll to line 48. You will find:
Code
$req = "SELECT s.song_name, b.band_name,
FROM {$jamroom_db['song_info']} s
LEFT JOIN {$jamroom_db['band_info']} b ON s.band_id = b.band_id
WHERE s.song_id = '". dbEscapeString($_REQUEST['song_id']) ."'
AND b.band_id = '". dbEscapeString($_REQUEST['band_id']) ."'
LIMIT 1";
after "SELECT" add "s.song_id, b.band_url"
no go to line 55 hit enter and into a new line paste the following:
before we go to language files, if you are using a Cobalt3, Sage or your own artist theme but based on the aforementioned you have to make one adjustment to your line 56 code. It should look like the following:
Now, as You might have noticed we have added a new variable {URL}, so we want users to know about.
go to the module/jrTwitter/langage/
and add the following to the "ul" in line 87:
Code
<li><tt>{URL}</tt>: url to the song played</li>
and make your line 92 look like this:
Code
Currently listening to: {ARTIST} - {NAME} @ {URL}
or whatever you please, just remember that {URL} is the actual address to your song.
also, before you start wondering why the link from twitter leads nowhere make sure your song_list.cfg file of your theme has the following line:
in nova:
Code
song_details.tpl | song_{SONG_ID}.php
in cobalt3:
Code
song_list.tpl | song_{SONG_ID}.php
Hope it helps someone,
Mike
P.S. As I said I can clean it up, but I'm hoping this will be included in the new version of the module.
P.P.S. You can apply the same principle to other options, i.e. stream video, play radio etc.
I do NOT take responsibility for damage done due to use of this hack, please test it first!
Ahhh, that's great! I suppose I should have asked before posting this
P.S. Is there any way to remove fields like LoFi and VIDEO?
I have disabled access to LOFI as well as video in media settings for the quota, and also set twit actions for video and channel to 'no' for that quota and yet related options in the module show to artists.
